NGD: Squier showmaster.

[Left_Hand_Strat]

won't be sticking around too long as its a righty, but I rescued it from abuse again.

Very good condition, no dinks at all, no fret wear or anything.

2004 indonesian made, it still had the original fender bullet strings on it!

The confusing part is trying to find out the model history. I type in Squier showmaster on google and the first page results are mainly about the Fender one from the 80's with the HH setup and a flloyd.

Re: NGD: Squier showmaster.

That variant is contemporary with the MII Squier Standard series. The nasty, floating, two-point "standard" vibrato bridge is a dead giveaway.

The earlier Showmaster series was MIK.

Perhaps, you should trade it towards something left handed.

The one I know is with Floyd and skull-crossbones, and the other with also Floyd with the Japanese lettering courtesy of that Jason something, a BMX rider/ snowboarder something like that.

I have a 2004 Fender catalog and there are only 3 Squier Showmaster models, and all of them have black headstocks (Jason Ellis, Skull & Bones and "Rally HH"). Last one mentioned has three-on-a-side headstock. I'm not certain of this but I think they were discontinued around 2006

The plan is to keep buying and selling guitars and save the money up for such purchases.

At the moment, many of the cash converter (Basically a watered down Pawn Shop to our American Friends) type shops have got a nice little stock of decent guitars which are about. Some of them end up being in the shop so long that it becomes dead stock and the cut the price by at least half.

the showmaster was purchased for £55 GBP, I already have a buyer who wants to pay £95 for it. All I have had to do is polish it up, nourish the fretboard, throw a set of strings on it and give it a set up. Boom, £40 profit for a few days work.

However, whilst the guitars are in my house, I do play them and test them, normally to test stuff but sometimes just to see how the guitar handles as a whole.

the guitar is MII made in the Cort Factory! (I like the Cort ones, seem better to me...)

Roughly ten feet away from my computer is a left-handed Squier Silver Series Stratocaster that begs to differ. :deal:
